but france uk high crimes - school not good at all - cost of living
i think Thai education is far , far better than here in the UK , if you see what they're "teaching" 3 year olds now in The West , especially in the UK and America , it's really awful , also the cost of living is so high now , closed shops , it's terrible here now , i loathe it , watching my country slide into the abyss - all planned not an accident , i could say far more , high crime , 94% of crimes not solved so what the heck are the UK police actually doing ? my son has his car broken into in Cardiff recently and his briefcase stolen , we live in mid Wales , i'm thinking of moving to Spain or Portugal , best of luck to you both and your family , from linda in Wales .
Ryan and Damo, in my humble opinion you would have to be out of your minds to educate Tis and Hugo in the UK. You are both doing a fabulous job in bringing them up. If it aint broken, don't fix it.
100%.
Your absolutely doing the right thing. UK schools and society have fallen.
"child's innocence brings innocence back to you" - that's a nice one 🙏
School is for socialization...learning is from Parents and Play.
We really love you guys great family
I've finished watching all the vlogs, including the latest one. I really enjoy and love them so much. You guys have a happy family, good kids, good parents, give good advice, and are honest. I truly love you guys and your family-the vibe, the style, the rural setting. Can't wait to see what comes next in the future. Please take care of yourself and your family, and enjoy your holidays!❤❤❤
Thanks Billy!
What a wonderful place to stay for a short break with your
Family are impressed with the way you both are bringing up your
Children.
I love how the children have so much respect for the older generations , it’s something you don’t see much of in a lot of places now x
I took care of my dad before I moved to 🇹🇭! How about you?
@@BarnabyBarry I took care of my mum who had dementia until she passed recently and I miss her every day x
The schools my son went to were excellent. A great primary school and a top grammar school. I would have struggled to find that standard elsewhere. I do think your giving your son a great life, with varied , hands on experience. How many people can read a story about elephants for example, and then go visit them in their natural habitat.
I'm pretty sure between you two as great parents and the Thai culture they much better off growing up there versus most of USA today
Really beautiful & cosy garden! ❤the caravan. Have a fab weekend. 💞💞💞💞
Wherever you travel to europe, america, uk, asean, asian, now and everythings are super expensive kap!🙏
Your kids are blessed with having you two as parents !! Much love from California (still Dutch) 🙏💕🌷🇳🇱
WTAF! Sending your kids to the UK for educating is without doubt the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you could do to them.
Children are the most beautiful thing in the world, they are a blessing and a precious gift in our lives. A beautiful haven to spend an enjoyable family weekend, what could be better.
Iam so very happy that you guys took Hugo to T Rex . He is having alot of fun with the family. We will love to stay there when we go to Thailand, thank you for sharing. Enjoy and have fun ❤
Your kids are so blessed to have such loving smart parents. They are growing so fast. Look at Hugo go. He looks like a little Buddha boy. Demo is so lovely . Young forever ! 🙏💕🙏
I just don't understand why anyone would go out of their way to tell you how to live or how to raise your family. My wife and I opted for no kids which has led to a very health and happy life for us but understand it is not a lifestyle everyone would resonate with. Let people say what they will, with the full understanding it is none of their business and entirely up to you and your wife in the end,
Nice to see you guys back in the same caravan. It’s like home away from home.🥰🫶🏻🇬🇧
You are great parents and your way is the best way. Much respect and admiration.
Vous êtes tous merveilleux ! J’ai 70 ans et je vous suis récemment de Suisse . J’étais en Thaïlande le mois passé et je compte passer l’hiver Suisse en Thaïlande . Ou êtes vous ? Quelle région ? J’adorerais vous rencontrer ! Je suis grand-mère et malheureusement en Suisse on ne laisse pas si facilement les enfants aux grands parents ! Le monde devient fou ! La Thaïlande a été pour moi une vraie bouffée d’air frais !
Quelle magnifique population ! Je vous souhaite le meilleur et un peu de fraîcheur ❤❤❤
Always interesting and informative and entertaining and fun to watch
Your doing a top job guys, at some point in the future it would be great to take the kids for a holiday in the UK so they know and understand half of their ancestry and cultural background.
Love the video guys❤ Love seeing you 4 enjoying yourselves and hanging out with one another! The resort looks awesome and thanks for posting this video 😊
I been to Thailand many times for holiday, Thailand has many beautiful exotic destination places for holiday, personally I enjoy and I love coming to Thailand for holidays.
Happy day❤
you guys are amazing parents.. no doubt otis and hugo are super lucky
Great to see you enjoying a family holiday together precious times making memories thanks for sharing ❤️🏴x
100% correct about Thai schools. Very regimented. Very little time to think out of the box. My kids only think for themselves because they have a bah farang dad.
Interesting episode, good to hear about the schools there. At the beginning, I see Hugo looking around at the place and reception people. He may be thinking, Oh no, Have we left our beautiful farm and home to move here? Where are my friends? Where is Grandma? Pool time looks fun. Glad to see you guys on a mini vacation. Sushi looks excellent as well. Peace and Love Y'all Good on Ya
ครอบครัวน่ารัก
Thanks for the interesting points of view about life in Thailand. Always good to hear your experiences 👍
Gratitude
ครอบครัวน่ารักมากค่ะ ขอให้มีความสุขกับทริปนี้น่ะค่ะ❤❤❤❤
Hi guys, I'm Thai but leave in UK for over 20 years. I totally agreed on what you said about school in both Thailand and UK. My son born in Birmingham but we all moved to leave away from city.. bring up kids in town between rural area and city is the great idea. My son is very happy, confidence and wild😂... I loved the fact that he cames home and can go out and ride his bike in the woods, instead of playing video game or on internet all the time.. when I took my son back to visited Thailand, he didn't find a lot of outdoor activities in city or town in Thailand.. He isn't a shopping boy, so he isn't really enjoy to stay in Bangkok or city.... The only one shopping place that he like is Chatuchak Market...😂😂. But he loves the beach in south east of Thailand. By the way, I'm enjoy watching your you tube chanel very much. Thank you😊
.... hope you all have a great time.
Lovely family.
There is certainly no need to send your kids to the US or UK, in order to achieve financial success. Thailand has long been a place of opportunity for young entrepreneurs & self-starters. With your parental support, your kids can aspire to become the next Bill Heinecke, if that is what they want. :)
Thanks again for sharing your lives with us!
The boys are looking soooooo beautifull it's better having a family than just work pub work pub it's okay for awhile than get a great life that place you are staying at is soooooo great love to all 💗👼👣🥣🐕💗
❤
To you both , kids will learn English whenever...I have 1 daughter, 3 boy and 1.on the way..... Thailand is.the best, and they all go local schools
I have taught a long time on Australia and a few years in Thailand. A huge difference is that many students and their families do not value education and even abuse teachers. Preventing sny learning.
That place looks amazing! Love your channel. ❤
Thank you 🙏😊🇹🇭
Otis and Hugo have a great opportunity as land owners to be entrepreneurs in Thailand. The meaning of life is your offspring. It really becomes apparent when the grandkids come. You’ll see.👍
Fabulous authentic vlog guys you are both amazing parents i love the little caravan break it looks perfect and relaxing and the location is so beautiful 😍
Thank you Margaret- big love 🙏
I have worked as a senior manager in America and believe me the education system here is really bad. I believe Thailand has a better education system.
Like raising kids on a Caribbean island, slow, safe, family and community oriented!
For us, Puerto Rico, St John, Tortola, St Croix and Culebra!
Marvelous yrs!
OMG , I ADORE A GOOD SUSHI 👌👏👏😋THAT LOOKS PRETTY DARN GOOD RYAN🫶👍
I stayed at T rex! Fab place
Relax . Your kids are going to grow up to be TH-camr's
I used to go to the Patana school in Bangkok when I was 5 or so.
Hi excellent videos. If you are parents with good standards & morals like you seem to have you can raise kids in a treehouse. Keep up the good work. What is the province you guys live in? Joseph
❤ 😊
There are issues with Thai language at international schools in Thailand in that they do the bare minimum.
Your kids end up not doing enough Thai to get entry to Thai Universities.
You're literally forced to send the kids abroad for University. But they then don't qualify for home fees (in the UK), unless you move back at least 3 years before they would start University.
Don't get me wrong, the International school my kids went to was great, if expensive. (The kids didn't realise how great until they went to school in the UK)
Company had told me I could no longer work from Thailand remotely, and gave me the choice of London or Hong Kong, thinking I'd pick Hong Kong, not realising the difficulties of getting three kids into English speaking schools in Hong Kong. That meant I moved back to the UK just in time for them to qualify for home fees, so it worked out.
One of my daughter's friends that she was in school with from nursery to when we left for the UK when she was 14, is now doing her PhD in the UK at the same University that my daughter is doing her Masters at.
❤❤❤
You are great parents.
The only obstacle I see, and have talked about with my wife, is the Uni issue when they are older. A Uni degree in Thailand will not cut it if they want to make more money in the west. Businesses fail all the time, but people only hear about the successes. Possible options I’ve thought about is leaving them with a business you have started, or leave them stock/real estate investments , or have them do their Masters in the UK.
Nice video as always, you guys live close to Nang Rong ? My wifes family lives like 28km from Nang rong, east of Nong Ki :) just been there a month. Came home 2 days ago.. Anyway keep it up, i like your videos.
5:48 Squeaky shoes😂😂😂❤
😂😂
Sod the uk 🇬🇧 schooling , you carry on doing what you do there 😅
I have worked with Filipino teachers and their English has always been outstanding. Tha Phillipines has done a great job teaching English. Whereas Thailand spends a lot more money on this but has awful results.
Happy family 👪
You have a lovely family. My next visit to Thailand, I would love to meet your family.
Would you be so kind to share the name of the hotel? Thanks a lot
Blackpool did you say Blackpool 😂. I spent a week there one day
I’m currently finishing my TEFL cert and heading to HH in Aug to check it out. Can’t wait. Any tips?
I’m covering abit about this on Sundays vlog in my other channel 🙏
Gotta say I've been visiting and staying at my wife's village for many years and have definitely seen a change in attitude for youngsters towards elderly people Many leave school and go to the city to work and send parents money but there are many that don't I've know many villagers that's scraping a living just to survive definitely worse off than twenty years ago even with the minute amount they get from the government
Nice experiences for your area. At least for Bangkok I see differences, such that kids having less respect for their teachers. Some teachers are just not good e.g. in teaching english or whatever and kids can compare easier than in days without smartphones. Some kids need proven success to be able choosing their high school; failure is sometimes blamed on the teachers. I also can imagine that Thai kids (under increasing pressure of this world) may not want anymore to care for their parents. So lets enjoy the good practices we see in Thailand as long as they last.
A lot of "international" schools in Thailand are substandard. They focus on marketing and promotion over substance. I worked for one of them and was disgusted with the standards and the management.
We do not have any videos for a couple couple days
I can't think of a better environment than yours to bring up a family, UK cities still have nice kids but there are a lot of feral distractions and influences around.
There are trade of. It is what it is.
What is the cost of private school? Is it located in Buri Ram? I am contemplating the idea to move the family to Thailand, but I do not want my child to attend public school. But there are no private schools in Surin and our place is close to that town.
Children have always travelled, and because they are young and bright and full of contradictions, they haven't always restricted their travel to the possible. Children follow the foxes, and open the wardrobes, and peek beneath the bridge. Children climb the walls and fall down wells and run the razor's edge of possibility until sometimes, just sometimes, the possible surrenders and shows them the way to go home.
Thai education is fine. Maths, science, geography is the same worldwide. Languages and cultural teaching may differ country to country. If you are taught be a teacher who is passionate about teaching for the benefit of the child then you are on to a winner. If you have a teacher that is just there for a paycheck then your child will not benefit. That applies the world over.
Summer schooling is almost like a detention applied during school holidays. Maybe a convenience for certain parents to offload the children and not be burdened by them. Not in all cases. Time away from school is a great way for the kids to switch off, refresh their minds and have time to simply just be children. As they should be.
In Australia youth generally think older people are stupid.
Your not missing much, most kids in uk dont go to the theatre, although they have the choice. As far as education in the uk is concerned, im afraid the woke brigade have taken over. The things young kids are being taught is all political. You are better where you are
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🦖🤍
I do know what you mean on the never get a minute. I’d like to get my boy Tawan who is now 5 in a more open minded school how did you find the school for Tis? We are in pri bung near khun kan
I don't mind at all when people with kids say I will never know what it's like to have kids until one has them. To me, that is self evident. What I find condescending is when they claim that is the only life worth living as if there is no other way to bring meaning into one's life. Not everyone without kids is just hedonistically debaucherizing through life. There are many choices to make, many causes to give one's self to, and many pursuits that are meaningful either personally or communally.
Agree many friends that don’t want kids and it works very well fir them 👍
One thing i didn't like about thai schools was at end if year they would bring kids to the front of the class and shame them for things like lack of achievement etc rather than encourage them
Ryan, build a small swimming pool? Sure to beat the tropical heat for the kids.
Keep them there England is falling.
Please leave your kids at home .love them and they will learn from you amen
เม้นแรกครับ สู้ๆนะ
🙏😁🇹🇭
UK education is awful, although much improved from our era Ryan.
So, responsibility is the main take away here. Something that is sorely lacking in the western mentality when it comes to having children. They are more like a fashion accessory in the west. And then we raise them poorly, they become dysfunctional, and our society (which is the people) suffers. As someone who comes from a broken home, it moves me deeply that the two of you put so much effort into your family.
This has nothing to do with this video just wondering what’s happening to the new house build .
Hey Roger - due to Christmas, then new year, the the heat wave and having no builders we have not started! 😁🙏
@@lifeinruralthailand no worries just thought I may have missed it and it sure has been hot All the best for your family I enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Thank you 🙏😊
In my opinion, ignore the idiots that have said you must educate them in the UK.. they probably are people that have never left the UK.
They will get just as good education, if not better, there in Thailand and better culture.. the UK is going backwards.
Australia is expensive asf.
15:52 I love how Damo reminiscence your time without children to now!🫶🏻😂🇬🇧
i prefer the western culture..they kick out their kid when they reach 18 😂
😂😂
They do that at 16 here but the only difference is the kid sends money back for life 👍
Another good episode. I agree with your Thai vs Western education differences plus/delta. The issue of respect towards others is however a huge gap in many Western educational systems. Free thinking in terms of critical thinking is often better in the West although it's debatable if many people are capable of critical thinking in the USA as they purchase Trump autographed Bibles. ; )
The lack of govt old age pension systems require the family members to take care of the elders. Poverty encourages family to take care of each other, less so in the west.
In the west ppl throw their parents in a retirement home and forgets about them.
All their life in the retirement homes circles about when the kids call them or visit them..because they have nothing else
👆👆👆
Then, how would you explain rich and middle-class Thais also having their old parents live with them just like how the poor ones do?
what do you mean by identity politics? like teaching about gay and trans people or do you mean something else? im just confused what you mean when you mention this term!
They focus more on traditional academic subjects like math, science, history, and literature, rather than discussing topics related to social identities. Thailand is already a very inclusive country, lady boys here are celebrated - I have seen for myself that they are often the popular kids in school - they are rarely, if ever bullied, being gay is very accepted so they do not need to focus on teaching these things.
Do you ever feel weird about the kids growing up in a different country and not having the same humor as you for joking around and having a laugh at the same stuff and things like that? I have children in another country too and it's something I think about a lot. (mine aren't really talking properly yet tho)
Haha no never because I talk with my son 9 hours a day so we have exactly the same humor 😁
